12/27/2019 - Baseball Factory West Coast Winter Classic (Ages 12-14) Racen is a coachable SS/RHP prospect who worked hard on his skills during the West Coast Winter Classic. In the field, Racen takes a good first step and shows smooth footwork. He gets into an athletic position and fields the ball out in front of his body. He makes a clean exchange and gains momentum well on his throws, keeping them accurate to his target. Long tossing to build up his arm strength can help Racen improve defensively. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an athletic stance and takes a square stride. He is on time getting into a smooth load and remains centered in his lower half. He takes a short swing with decent bat speed, leading to consistent line drives. Racen can improve as a hitter by maintaining center balance throughout his swing. On the mound, Racen shows a two pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 69mph. Breaking ball sits from 55-58mph with 11-5 break. Lengthening his arm action can help Racen improve as a pitcher. With four more years to develop, Racen has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the field.
